    Nah, they don’t get the benefit of doubt between this and the impossible free battlepass grind. The whole game reeks of shitty F2P monetization.

      The game is a mess. I watch my kid play it and it’s so less graceful than smash. Framerates randomly drop, lag spikes happen a few times a minute, hit boxes seem nebulous compared to attack animations.

          A+ game development right there. I don’t like how Nintendo runs their online services (and actively opposes game tournaments), but you wouldn’t expect such a change in Smash.

          Should’ve been interesting patch notes. “We’ve noticed the Iron Giant has been overperforming, so we just straight up deleted him so we won’t have to think about it.”
